    Is it time for new router?

    Thank you for the reply. I had a similar issue with the 5300 while using my laptop. 2.4 connection would drop. I disabled the onboard Intel adapter and used the 5300 USB adapter I bought and so far all good. I'm leaning towards keeping the 5300 as it appears to still be a solid choice. Thanks...

    Is it time for new router?

    Thank you exactly what I needed to hear. I have no wifi 6 so I'm good with the 5300. Thanks again!

    Is it time for new router?

    Hello all, Pretty much a noob here but like to read and always fascinated by networking. I have the ASUS AC 5300 and just wanted to get a sense of what the pros, i.e., you folks, think maybe it's time for new router. I set up a poll so hopefully it won't take much time to reply. Regardless...

    AC 5300 and Echo Show issues

    Way cool...going to definitely check out the Merlin Config files. I've seen them but didn't know the inner workings. The Echo's seem to be working well but not sure it's from anything I've done...time will tell. I've always heard good things about Linux but my system is Windows based. Sounds...

    AC 5300 and Echo Show issues

    So I tried to change the settings yesterday but could only do the MTU on the WAN side of the router. I tried to change it in Windows 10 using command prompts but was unsuccessful. Also, I didn't see a dhcp option 26 available. Is that a totally different software application? I did try to...

    AC 5300 and Echo Show issues

    Skiron, Thank you so much for the reply and very useful information. My Echo does the same thing...some days plays all day and others it will quit after a few songs. I'm definitely going to use your suggestions. I do online gaming as well and perhaps this will improve my hit...

    AC 5300 and Echo Show issues

    I thought I would share what I found. I'm a firm believer in helping others so if anyone else encounters this issue check this if they have an ASUS router: ASUS AiMesh WiFi System In the mesh system under clients there is an option to block internet access for each individual client, i.e...

    AC 5300 and Echo Show issues

    Hello all, Anyone have thoughts as to why my Echo show shows a connection to my network but it actually doesn't have a connection. This only happens with my ASUS AC5300 router. I was able to successfully connect to the 68U with no problem but when I went back to the 5300..no connection. Any...

    Router Log Question

    Thank you very much! Nowadays, I'm always concerned that someone or something is hacking my system so I'm so happy that this is very explainable. Thanks again.

    Router Log Question

    Good morning to all! I was looking over my router settings today and scanned my router log (file attached). It has a lot of dates from May 5th. Seems like the May dates appear frequently and not sure why. Any input appreciated. I'm thinking perhaps I should do a full factory reboot and...

    Cable modem

    Greetings! I'm looking to replace my cable modem with a modem that I can own instead of renting from the cable company. Any suggestions on what I should buy and/or look for would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Skyler, Thanks for the input! I'll keep the synology in mind if a new router is needed.

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    So is the RT-AC5300 a bust or what? I have one as well but not good enough to notice any issues. After reading all the negative complaints here, I'm wondering if I should look into the product further or just "not broke don't fix". Thanks
